There are two kinds of people in this world, those that can handle puke and those that can't. Tonight, I was once again reminded that I fall into the latter category. It seems like a lot of stuff in my life revolves around cleaning up things coming out one end or the other of my kids. Caleb seems to have the weakest stomach of the bunch.
Al was working late tonight; so for some dinner fun I told the kids were would have a picnic on a blanket on the kitchen floor. Everyone had finished eating but Caleb and the picnic had been cleaned up. That's when Caleb started the fountain. It came and came. I really do not handle the sight or smell well and began my own round of dry heaves. I was able to get him to the sink in between my bouts. Fortunately, everyone else was playing elsewhere. Jake, sensing there was trouble that he could make, came in the kitchen and sat squarely in the middle of Caleb's "pile." I, of course, was focused enough on the two of us and didn't realize Jake had come in until he screamed. He figured out that the pile wasn't a fun pile to be siting in. Still dry heaving, I instructed Caleb to keep his head in one sink while I quickly grabbed Jake and sprayed him off in the other sink. Aly then yelled, "Mom I PEED my underwear."
I am guessing that Al had a much less eventful night fixing kids' teeth.

I'm a puke handler-for my own kids. Others take a little effort. Al's time will come. Travis does not handle it well-he always baths kids while I clean up puke. Well on Wednesday, one of his Pedo patients puked everywhere!!! It's only fair.
My hubby is the same way. He baths the kid while I clean the puke/poop. Aren't kids fun?! They would really be more fun if they came out potty trained and puking just didn't happen. Hey, check out my blog, I tagged you.
I'm still trying to figure out who I am I suppose. After our latest puke incident, I have decided that Kinley needs to chew her food better, I shouldn't be able to find entire fries in her pile. And seriously, you need to write a book, it would be a best seller.
Do you ever watch the show John and Kate plus eight? Anyway's I am addicted to it and reading your posts regularly reminds me of that show. Can't we come up with a cute title and put your life on reality tv??
